Top 38 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Dayton

Grace Norwood

Alyssia did a wonderful job. Would like to see more gluten free options.

Stopped in for breakfast today and was seated right away. I ordered the omelette and gluten free waffle and the food was delicious! Service was spectacular, too! So good that I ate my leftovers for lunch today!

Chris Bogues

Food we ordered was good. Waiter (Steve) copped an attitude when 2 in our party informed him of their severe dairy (anaphylactic) and gluten allergies. He was unwilling to explore options regarding the menu. “We’re busy in the kitchen. I can’t ask them”. If you go to this location, request to not be served by Steve.

Ok, so this place is AMAZING! Firstly, the fact the staff is SO nice and helpful is beyond awesome but they actually have gf options for people with celiacs and it all tastes SO good! I love the atmosphere, I love the service and typically go here a few times a week! Fantastic place!

Gluten Free bun available. Good burgers.

Megan Ross

The coffee is amazing and the staff is well versed in food allergies. They even offer a military discount. The gf baked goods are always delicious and are kept separate from gluten items. As a celiac I highly recommend this place as I have never gotten sick.

Zoe Wheeler

Amazing filet mignon, lobster and shrimp and the gluten free brownie is the perfect end to a good meal

Vincent was an excellent server. This restaurant could use a little refresh in the entry but I do like the local art in the dining area. For a restaurant being so progressive with it's menu and careful with gluten/vegan cuisine I do not understand why there are not markings on the menu. Disappointed in allergens not being marked especially since this is a sister restaurant to Wheat Penny who despite the name actually does gluten allergy notices excellently. Tonight I had a herb vinaigrette salad. I feel like someone was trying to be unique with the dressing. I've had a lot of vinaigrettes and salads. I never dislike a salad. I did not like it. The olives were oddly flavored. The cheese was good, but the dressing had herbs de provence or something odd in it I couldn't put my finger on. I feel like that's such an acquired to be taste, it should be mentioned or the dressing needs to be renamed or reformulated to be more like a goddess. It said it was lemon and didn't taste like lemon or vinegar or oil. Mostly avocado and herbs. I highly recommend the caprese toast on gluten free bread. That's one of the best things I've had in a long time. The tomatoes were red, fresh, and juicy. The burnt peach and macadamia nut cheesecake was not it. I feel like it has a lighter feel with more egg/custard taste than cheese. Needs more sugar and more cream cheese, more brown sugar crumble. Pass the burnt top and replace by peach jam or something like that. I hope they are as celiac friendly as was shared by server. I'll report back. **Can't notice specific issues with gluten. Also the two-tops were too close to each other to have no music playing. There needed to be background music because it was near impossible not to hear the entirety of the next conversation. One table should be removed in that row. Although the restaurant met our needs that day I wouldn't be swift to return, but can recognize the value of a locally owned place with a strong following.

This place is awesome! Great food and service. We love going here. My wife is Celiac and they are very careful with the gluten-free options.

Angela Hangen

Pastries are 100% worth the hype. The menu varies daily. There are gluten free options but need to go early, the gf items sell out quickly. Everything is beautiful, delicious and presentation/atmosphere is 100% memorable. They struggle with coffee orders if you order more than 1 drink at once- sometimes the 2nd drink is totally missed to make. Coffee is really good once recieved! this happened 3x in 2025, so room for improvement but wow... just go! So worth the trip.

Nancy

Great gluten free options

Dan Blausey

Amazing coffee shop with a nice selection of foods, sweets and savory treats. (Gluten free selection is available) The ladies that we interacted with were very friendly and welcoming to us, as we were first timers on our visit.

Ali Rode

The drive thru and parking experience has improved dramatically. They were able to address my gluten allergy and they have breakfast bowls that are gluten free.

Chris Goessl

Always ordered through the app. Wife likes the gluten free buns.

Sharna Raw

The best falafel and humus I have ever had!!! Gluten-free and vegan options. Staff very knowledgeable. I will look forward to visiting again.

Destiny Williams

Terrible customer service. They ran out of regular buns. All they had were chipotle or gluten-free buns, which you have to pay additional money for. That was not properly explained. Why make the customer pay additional money when you are at fault. When I asked to speak to a Manger to have the additional charges taken off, some rude and unprofessional person told me it was my fault for not choosing to have the burgers without a bun.

Robyn Miller

This is honestly my favorite restaurant. I have never tried African food before visiting here a couple years ago, now I can't get enough. The woman working the front desk is always so sweet and accommodating for my gluten free needs, as I always get the GF injera and it is AMAZING. Can't tell you how much I appreciate being able to indulge in this amazing cuisine properly with the traditional bread as a GF person. 10/10 recommend the Nanya Platter, something for everyone and it has a great variety all in one place. The Fitfit appetizer is amazing as well, mouthwatering and crisp. If you're thinking about coming here, RUN don't walk, to try this amazing cuisine.

Asia Roberts

Good food, fresh flavors. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices.

Kathy Morgan

Nice clean place, great service, and good food/shake also gluten-free

Marc P

Staff and food were fantastic! My wife has Celiac's disease (gluten free) and they were very knowledgeable and gave my wife a rather large list of menu items to safely eat.

Leah Towe

If words like gluten-free, raw, or vegan make you shudder and clutch your chicken nuggets, let me just tell you that Katie has the magic touch - everything that she touches is magic. You won’t know it’s healthy by the taste, but your body feels the difference. Everyone there radiates sunshine and their passion for excellent food that fuels your body shows in every item. I’m a dairy loving girl, but the herbed cashew “cheese” is what dreams are made of. I haven’t had a single thing on the menu that was anything that didn’t have me licking the container when I was done.

Nancy Silverman

It is a stroll down the road for me. The atmosphere is enchanting. Many options in coffee beverages. Also they've liquor for coffee beverages if you enjoy this. They've hamburgers and gluten free alternatives.

The BEST restaurant I've been to in Dayton! This place goes above and beyond any expectation that I have for any restaurants. The hot tea was served in a French press, they created a house salad for me that was vegan and gluten free, and the rosemary potatoes and the zucchini were so absolutely amazing that I can't wait to order them again soon. You can see the little extra special touches in the pictures like the fact that they bring the fancy teacup with a little plate with a stirring spoon, a glass jar of honey, and the most delicious salad dressing I think I've ever had in my life was served in a glass dessert cup with spoon. I sent a tip to the cook, and I have only done that maybe twice in my entire 46 years. You seriously cannot go wrong here. I am ultra-picky, have lots of allergies, and cannot think of a place I'd rather eat.

Ali Rode

Good drivethru. Fast. Can accommodate gluten allergies.

Kirsta McElfresh

I'm grateful IHOP has gluten friendly pancake option. Be careful with the omletes, as most of them have gluten in them. The egg white one did not and was yummy.

Ali Rode

This is a real hidden gem with fresh salads and Mediterranean apps as the highlight. They are able to cater to gluten free folks with celiac as well as vegetarian/vegan dietary restrictions. Try the Turkish sparkling water and prepare for good service, quiet atmosphere and quality food. Highly recommend the salmon, shepherd salad, Turkish spring water, and the rice pudding.

I ordered a gf pie 🥧 and totally almost missed pick up & the cool folks at partial to pie didn’t make me feel like a jerk and I’m so lucky to live so close to this awesome business! The gluten free brownie was literally the best brownie I’ve ever eaten!! 💖 I’m sorry again guys!!

Barbara

LOVE me some Chick Fila. Do thankful for the Gluten Free options.

Loved the atmosphere. Our waitress was very helpful and tried to assist me with what was gluten-free. The steak was quite tasty and thick. The food was great and the prices were very reasonable. Bonus - they have live music and bike nights. Will definitely return here!!

I am gluten free and very used to getting ripped off with the potions of a sandwich because gf bread is always so much smaller. HOWEVER - this was the first time that I was actually served TWO whole sandwiches (each smaller) because of the size of the bread! My daughter and I both ordered the turkey Rueben and it was incredible! I almost ordered a salad but will do that the next time! They looked amazing and were huge!

Amanda Yannekis

I cannot express how delicious this place is. The service was great. The atmosphere is perfect. The food was absolutely incredible. We got the gluten free waffle Sammy with goat cheese with loaded tots, gravy biscuit sandwich, and kids pancake. Everything was so yummy. I can’t believe it took us this long to try it and can’t wait to try every single thing on the menu. The gluten free and vegan options are perfection! Don’t sleep on this local spot. 10000% worth the visit!
